Chapter 192 Reprimanding Lu Wang, Lu Wang regrets it!
Chapter 192: Reprimanding King Lu, and King Lu regrets it!
Wang Yongguang actually didn't want to see such a result, that is, people like him would fall to the point where they still had to shake their tails and beg for mercy at Tianqi.
But he really didn't expect that the people like Tianqi would think of using the method of surrounding the towns in the countryside to deal with these gentry.
So much so that they lost a lot.
Wang Yongguang can only wave his tail to Tianqi and beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty! I am guilty, but I am not unfaithful to you!"
"The criminals have reached this point now, because the criminals were kidnapped by the traitor who surrendered to King Lu to Wei Hui, which forced the criminals to go to this point!"
"After someone was kidnapped to the King of Lu, the criminal wanted to die on a hunger strike to make his ministers clear, but later I thought that those who are ministers cannot be loyal and useless. Instead of taking a hunger strike to show their ambitions, it is better to compromise and secretly quell the rebellion of the court for secretly.
Expand your efforts.”
"So since the criminals surrendered to the rebels, they deliberately sold official positions and titles, embezzled and accepted bribes, and deliberately asked the rebels to conquer the people, and recommended mediocre officials as commanders, making it easier for the imperial court to suppress the rebellion!"
"Now, when I heard that Your Majesty's army has arrived in the suburbs, the criminals cried with joy, thinking that they had not let down the suffering of fighting against the enemy, and took advantage of the criminals as the opportunity to supervise the army, and decisively offered the city to Your Majesty to prevent the people from being damaged.
.”
"The criminal answered His Majesty's question about why he came to the rebels to be an official. As for why he was unwilling to die for His Majesty! I want to say that this is nothing! The criminal is his Majesty's minister, and death is
Your Majesty’s ghost, you must never be disobedient! Your Majesty!”
Wang Yongguang said and hit his head on the ground.
"The same is true for me. I will never dare to be disobedient. Now I am just a compromise, Your Majesty!"
Ding Qirui and other civil officials also followed suit.
They are now as desperate as Wang Yongguang. They did not expect that His Highness Lu, who did not implement the new policy and treated the gentry, would decline so quickly shortly after the uprising and rapidly growing, that he would have no power to fight back in front of the court.
They all wag their tails and beg for mercy.
Wang Yongguang then said: "The criminal minister deliberately sold official positions and titles under the command of the rebels these days, embezzled and accepted bribes, and thus obtained a huge sum of three million taels of silver. Now he is willing to submit it to the court to confiscate the crime to show his sincere deeds.
My heart, I hope Your Majesty will clearly understand!"
"Three million taels?"
It turned out that when Zhu Changqing heard that the imperial army had arrived at the suburbs of Weihui and knew that he had no way to commit suicide, Ye Chengxue, who was elected by Wang Yongguang and became his close minister, stopped him at this time and said reinforcements were coming outside and asked him to
When he went to meet him, Zhu Changqing believed it and came.
But Zhu Changqing did not expect that as soon as he arrived, he saw his ministers kneeling in the suburbs to welcome the imperial army!
The key leader is Wang Yongguang, whom he has always trusted!
Zhu Changqing was stunned at that time.
Fortunately, these ministers who knelt on the ground and buried their heads, so they didn't notice Zhu Changqing.
Zhu Changqing was able to hear Wang Yongguang admit that he sold official positions and titles, embezzled and accepted bribes, and ruined his foundation.
Zhu Changqing couldn't stand it for a moment, so he forgot to apologize to Tianqi.
Tianqi also saw Zhu Changqing here.
But he ignored Zhu Changqing now and continued to ask Wang Yongguang: "So, are you really good at speaking? So, what you praised King Lu in the "Mingli Pao" is just against your will?"
"Your Majesty is wise! King Lu is just a rebellious king. He is cruel and unkind, and has no kindness to the people and has imposed heavy taxes! He even wants to eat meat and sleep with the officials of the court who support the reform, and has no kindness to the officials of the court who support the reform!"
"How can the criminal minister truly praise the king? Even if he wins over the gentry, he is just a vilifying intention. The criminal minister will advise His Majesty to fight with him for the hearts of the people, but he will never allow him to rebel successfully and destroy the rules of the world!"
Wang Yongguang said, and said again: "So when this brutal rebel king wanted to escape to Guanzhong, I risked my life to persuade him to stay, just to let him capture him alive for His Majesty today and be punished by Ming Zhengdian.
Let’s set an example, not to harm Guanzhong.”
"Wang Yongguang!"
Zhu Changqing couldn't stand it, so he couldn't help but roar and looked at him with anger.
He now wants to eat Wang Yongguang.
Wang Yongguang was also shocked after hearing this and said to himself: "Didn't you let Ye Chengxue force him to hang himself? Why did King Lu come here? What did Ye Chengxue do?"
When Ye Chengxue saw Zhang Gui nodding to him at this time, he wisely escaped from here and headed west.
At this moment, Zhu Changqing continued to shout at Wang Yongguang: "Didn't you always praise me as a benevolent lord? Why do you all betray me now! Touch your conscience, when did you not respect you?
Why do you treat orphans like this! You deserve to die!"
No civil officials such as Wang Yongguang and Ding Qirui did not answer.
At this time, their answers are meaningless.
In their opinion, it is not necessary to reason with a piece they have given up on.
They just didn't expect that Zhu Changqing would come here instead of staying in the palace to hang themselves, which undoubtedly made their current situation a little embarrassed.
"His Majesty!"
Zhu Changqing knelt down to Tianqi at this time and cried out in pain: "Damn the crime! The crime should not listen to their uprising and causing your rebellion, wuwu!"
Tianqi looked at Zhu Changqing and cried loudly, and knew that he was so miserable that he shed tears of regret at this moment, so he was also touched.
But Tianqi still said to Zhu Changqing very seriously: "King Lu, look at the people in your fiefdom. Which one is not hungry and cold, and which one is not as thin as a man, and even many of them have starved to death and turned into bones! It can be said that these are all caused by you.
Yes, because if you hadn't opposed the new policy or even rebelled for it, they would have received relief from the court and even relied on the court to regain their life. Do you know how much evil you have done now?"
Zhu Changqing burst into tears and said again: "Damn the guilty minister!"
"You may think that the life and death of the people have nothing to do with you. As long as your own interests are not damaged, it is best to get more, even become an emperor and take over the world."
"But you wouldn't have thought that it was because you didn't take them seriously that you were the one who was today. You didn't have a brain and only knew how to seek personal gain. As a result, you were cheated by the scholar-officials who you think are all saints and gentlemen.
,They are also humans, how can they help you without any benefit?"
"You don't really think that they are all the same as the people they say, and are willing to go through fire and water for you for the sake of benevolence, right? They are used for you by the saints, but it does not mean that they really know how to follow the saints' words.
Do it like that!”
Tianqi said, "I don't feel strange about this scene today. Moreover, if you succeed, the king will succeed, the enemy will wait. In order not to make their behavior so ugly in history books, they will use more ugly words.
Write yours. Otherwise, how can you testify to their current righteousness."
Zhu Changqing cried silently. When he heard Tianqi say this, he said, "Your Majesty! I beg you, please let them all die well! Please help me!"
"Why do I want to help you? I was the one who rebelled first, and I followed them, thinking that I was a tyrant and foolish monarch. I am afraid that if I really fall into your hands, you will execute me without hesitation!"
Apocalypse asked.
Zhu Changqing was speechless for a moment and said, "But Your Majesty! They are the worst people. The criminals are instigated by them, saying that the criminals will be able to respond to the people of the world; they are exploited by them!"
"Your Majesty! If you don't punish them severely, they will become even more rampant. They will instigate other vassal kings! Your Majesty, even if the Zhu family is sorry for the common people, they should be executed, but it is not their turn to kill them like this!
